Application Process and Program Fees, Paris Summer Program
How to Apply
Students must fill out an initial application through USF’s Education Abroad Office () providing details on their academic, technical and choreographic experience, as well as their motivation for attending the program. A letter of recommendation is typically required from èßäÊÓÆµapps outside of USF and schools affiliated with the Dance in Paris Programs, although it does not have to be submitted with the inquiry application. Priority will be given to èßäÊÓÆµapps in their junior year of college, along with a demonstration of high academic/creative/technical strength.
Although the application deadline is January 31, 2024, èßäÊÓÆµapps are encouraged to apply for this program early as the program fills to capacity every year and there is often a long waitlist. USF and partner institution èßäÊÓÆµapps are given priority registration, although there are often a few slots for non-USF/partner institution èßäÊÓÆµapps, so those èßäÊÓÆµapps are encouraged to apply early.
USF Education Abroad will provide non-USF èßäÊÓÆµapps with a USF e-mail account and payment schedule.
